I get the feeling that articles like this use the term DVD interchangeably with BD and UHD 4K.

Yeah, I surmised that as well since most of the general public assume all physical media formats fall under the term "DVD". Even the people I know who don't collect physical media and just get everything downloaded or streamed ask me where is the sense in collecting dvds.

Again, DVD, BD, or UHD?

“It’s essentially just wasted plastic and cardboard, a relic of the past, a pointless waste of carbon and [work hours] that doesn’t even do the job as well as the streaming version,” says [Cheshire, England-based radio producer Tom Green].

Physical media is pretty much a collector's market these days. But it is not DVD, it is the hi def formats that are desired.
